Katie Holmes’s off-duty fashion is characterized by chic and effortlessly cool summer outfits. Just yesterday, she once again proved why she’s the Queen of New York City street style, wearing a perfectly curated ensemble of breezy, muted separates that showcased her layering skills.

Mixing high and low pieces, Holmes rocked two outfits with unique vibes. Both followed a simple formula: monochromatic base, oversized outer layer, topped off with a killer black leather bag.

Holmes kicked off her day in a crisp white scoop neck tank, flawlessly tucked into a pair of matching milky linen pants, both carefully selected from the fashion-forward retailer Banana Republic. To add a touch of edgy sophistication, the Dawson’s Creek alum opted for contrasting pops of black, including a sleek long poplin shirtdress also from Banana Republic. Completing the look with a pair of sleek ballet flats and a sophisticated T-Lock clutch bag by Totême, Holmes effortlessly blended casual comfort with high-end elegance. Of course, no outfit is complete without her signature go-to golden necklace, adding a hint of personal flair to the overall ensemble.

Later in the day, the actor wore a different look en route to an A.P.C. event (she recently designed a new capsule collection for the Paris-based brand), wearing a full look from the label. It was comprised of a steel-blue cami and dark wash jeans layered under a pinstripe gray painter’s jacket. She paired black flats and tortoiseshell sunglasses with her Totême bag, which she carried earlier in the day.
